I Must have the worst luck
A bit annoyed at the fact that i bent two of my aftermarket niche misano rims on one dip/pothole. Dont even know what it was. On the face of the rim too. The bend isnt bad but enough that it's noticeable to the naked eye. Ive been quoted AT LEAST $150 per rim to repair them which includes refinishing the rim. At that point im considering two new rims. I already bent one of these rims on the inside. I always thought niche was a good brand. I know 19inch rims in ny are stupid to begin with but im pretty careful and keep my conti dws06 tires decently inflated. 43psi cold. I just dont get it. Very frustrated.

To OP, that's unfortunate. Perhaps contact Niche and see if they could help you. With all wheels, there are always horror stories such as your own; Vossen and Forgestar are also big names with plenty of stories. It comes down to a case of misfortune really.

19" rims on crap NY roads are going to get bent. I live in Tennessee where the roads are generally pretty good, had a blowout due to the interstate completely falling apart back in 2015. I run 18" rims on my SC300 with 35 series tires. Didn't bend my rim but scratched the hell out of it. My wheels were the Lexus accesory "spider" wheels, with that hard to match metallic grey paint on them. First time they were the totally wrong shade of grey, 2nd time they were better but not a perfect match to the OE finish.
I'd change your setup to something less radical rather than try and fix what you have. IMO the wheel repair guys can get "pretty close" to the OEM finish on your wheel, but it won't be 100% perfect.
